The inventors of the present invention have obtained the following recognition regarding the inspection of the components of the automatic door system. If an automatic door system, which consists of multiple components such as a controller and sensors, malfunctions, it is conceivable to replace all the major components with new ones. However, in this case, there is a problem that it is troublesome to replace the components and the loss of replacement parts is large. For this reason, if there is an operational abnormality, it is desirable to inspect each component at the installation site of the automatic door and to take appropriate countermeasures based on the inspection results. However, since high knowledge and skill are required to inspect the components while they are attached to the automatic door system, it is difficult to perform inspections at the installation site.

In order to test the component, it is conceivable to input a test signal to the component and check its reaction. However, when an inspection signal is input while the automatic door device is installed, components not subject to inspection also react, causing the automatic door system to operate in an unintended manner, hindering the inspection work.
In view of the above, the inventors have recognized that the automatic door system has room for improvement in terms of facilitating inspection of its components.

(Inspection unit)
Next, the inspection section 40 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2 , the inspection unit 40 of this embodiment includes a transmission line connection unit 42 and an inspection body unit 44 . The test main unit 44 transmits the test signal Et to the transmission line 36 via the transmission line connection unit 42 and acquires the reaction signal Rs.

(stop signal)
The stop signal Sp is a signal for stopping part or all of the functions of the second components, which are not subject to inspection, among the controller 30, the sensors 20 to 26, and the electric lock . The stop signal Sp contains information about the second component and the function to stop. When the stop signal Sp is sent to the transmission line 36, the second component receives the stop signal Sp and stops functioning based on the stop signal Sp. For example, the second component stops transmitting signals such as the detection information signal Di, the status information signal Si, the command signal Tc, the control information signal Ci, and the setting information signal Ec.

Also, the stop signal Sp may be a mode switching signal for switching the system 1 from the normal mode to the inspection mode. In the test mode, the second component may stop transmitting signals such as the sensing information signal Di, the status information signal Si, the command signal Tc, the control information signal Ci, the setting information signal Ec. The stop signal Sp is received by the processing units 20p-30p.

(inspection signal)
The inspection signal Et is a signal to be given to the first component to be inspected among the controller 30, the sensors 20 to 26 and the electric lock . The inspection signal Et may be any signal that can cause the first component to output a predetermined reaction signal. The test signal Et of this embodiment is a simulated signal that simulates the signal that the second component gives to the first component. For example, if the first component is any one of the sensors 20 to 26 and the electric lock 28 , the inspection signal Et may be a signal simulating the command signal Tc transmitted from the controller 30 . For example, if the first component is the controller 30, the test signal Et may be a signal simulating the detection information signal Di transmitted from any one of the sensors 20-26. The test signal Et is received by the processing units 20p-30p.

(reaction signal)
The response signal Rs is a signal transmitted by the first component based on the received test signal Et. For example, if the first component is any of the sensors 20-26 and the electric lock 28, the response signal Rs may be the sensing information signal Di or the status information signal Si. For example, when the first component is the controller 30, the reaction signal Rs may be the command signal Tc, the control information signal Ci, or the setting information signal Ec. The reaction signal Rs is transmitted by the processing units 20p-30p.

Operations of the processing units 20p to 30p will be described. When the processing units 20p to 30p receive the inspection signal Et from the inspection unit 40 via the transmission line 36, based on the received inspection signal Et, the processing units 20p to 30p generate detection information, state information, setting information, or The reaction signal Rs described above is generated from the command information. Further, the processing units 20p to 30p transmit the generated reaction signal Rs to the inspection unit 40 via the transmission line 36. FIG.

A first operation example of the inspection system 1 configured as described above will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a first operation example of the inspection system 1. As shown in FIG. This figure shows an inspection method S80 for inspecting the outer activation sensor 20 as the first component. The inspection method S80 is started when the inspector performs an operation for starting inspection of the sensor 20 from the operation unit 44b (touch panel) of the portable terminal.

When the inspection method S80 is started, the inspection unit 40 determines the outer activation sensor 20 as the first component (step S81). After the first component is determined, the inspection unit 40 transmits a stop signal Sp to the transmission line 36 to stop the function of the second component (step S82).

After the stop signal Sp is transmitted, the second component receives the stop signal Sp and stops functioning (step S83). In this example, controller 30, electric lock 28 and sensors 22-26 are deactivated.

After the function of the second component is stopped, the inspection unit 40 transmits an inspection signal Et for inspecting the sensor 20 to the transmission line 36 (step S84). In this example, the inspection signal Et is a signal simulating the command signal Tc for transmitting the detection information signal Di.

After the test signal Et is transmitted, the processing unit 20p of the sensor 20 receives the test signal Et and generates the reaction signal Rs based on the test signal Et (step S85). In this example, the reaction signal Rs is the detection information signal Di.

After the reaction signal Rs is generated, the processing unit 20p transmits the reaction signal Rs to the transmission line 36 (step S86). After the reaction signal Rs is transmitted, the inspection unit 40 acquires the reaction signal Rs (step S87). Next, the state of the sensor 20 is estimated based on the acquired reaction signal Rs (step S88). For example, the inspection unit 40 may estimate whether the sensor 20 is operating normally based on the reaction signal Rs.

In the estimation in this step, the detection information signal Di when the sensor 20 is normal is stored in advance in the storage unit 44m as a reference signal, and the inspection unit 40 compares the received reaction signal Rs with the reference signal and compares the received reaction signal Rs with the reference signal. It may be performed based on the comparison result. For example, it can be estimated to be normal when the difference between the reaction signal Rs and the reference signal is within a predetermined range.

In addition, it is also possible to prepare an error cause assumed in the pattern of the reaction signal Rs and store it in advance in the storage unit 44m. In this case, the cause of the error can be automatically estimated by analyzing the pattern of the response signal Rs. Also, if there is no abnormality in the pattern of the reaction signal Rs, it can be estimated that there is a problem with the settings.

Step S<b>88 may be performed by arranging the simulated traffic object in the activation area (monitoring area) of the sensor 20 . The inspection unit 40 may estimate that the sensor 20 is normal when the reaction signal Rs corresponding to the arrangement of the simulated traffic object is acquired, and may estimate that the sensor 20 is not normal (abnormal) otherwise. . Moreover, the inspection unit 40 may estimate that the sensor 20 is not normal (abnormal) when the reaction signal Rs is not transmitted within the predetermined period.

After estimating the state of the sensor 20, the inspection unit 40 displays the estimation result on the display unit 44d (liquid crystal display) (step S89). The inspector can proceed to the next inspection or replace the sensor 20 according to the display result of the display section 44d.

By completing step S89, this inspection method S80 ends. The inspection method S80 described above is merely an example, and other steps may be added, some steps may be changed or deleted, and the order of the steps may be changed. Inspection method S80 can be applied to sensors 22-26 and electric lock 28 as well.

Next, a second operation example of the inspection system 1 will be described. FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing a second operation example of the inspection system 1. As shown in FIG. This figure shows an inspection method S90 for inspecting the controller 30 as the first component. The inspection method S90 is started when the inspector performs an operation for starting the inspection of the controller 30 from the operation unit 44b (touch panel) of the portable terminal.

When the inspection method S90 is started, the inspection unit 40 determines the controller 30 as the first component (step S91). After the first component is determined, the inspection unit 40 transmits a stop signal Sp to the transmission line 36 to stop the function of the second component (step S92).

After the stop signal Sp is transmitted, the second component receives the stop signal Sp and stops functioning (step S93). In this example, sensors 20-26 and electric lock 28 are deactivated.

After the function of the second component is stopped, the inspection unit 40 transmits an inspection signal Et for inspecting the controller 30 to the transmission line 36 (step S94). In this example, the inspection signal Et is a signal simulating the detection information signal Di when the outer activation sensor 20 detects a passing object. In this case, the controller 30 is expected to transmit the control information signal Ci for opening the door 12 by receiving the inspection signal Et that simulates the detection information signal Di. Therefore, the control information signal Ci when the controller 30 is normal may be stored in advance in the storage section 44m as a reference signal.

After the inspection signal Et is transmitted, the processing unit 30p of the controller 30 receives the inspection signal Et and generates a reaction signal Rs based on the inspection signal Et (step S95). In this example, the response signal Rs is expected to be the control information signal Ci.

After the reaction signal Rs is generated, the processing unit 30p transmits the reaction signal Rs to the transmission line 36 (step S96). After the reaction signal Rs is transmitted, the inspection unit 40 acquires the reaction signal Rs (step S97). Next, the state of the controller 30 is estimated based on the acquired reaction signal Rs (step S98). For example, the inspection unit 40 may estimate whether the controller 30 is operating normally based on the reaction signal Rs.

In this step, the inspection unit 40 may estimate that the controller 30 is normal when the reaction signal Rs is the control information signal Ci, and otherwise estimate that the controller 30 is not normal (abnormal). . Moreover, the inspection unit 40 may estimate that the controller 30 is not normal (abnormal) when the reaction signal Rs is not transmitted within the predetermined period.

The estimation in this step may be performed based on the results of comparing the received response signal Rs with reference signals stored in the storage unit 44m. For example, it can be estimated to be normal when the difference between the reaction signal Rs and the reference signal is within a predetermined range.

In addition, it is also possible to prepare an error cause assumed in the pattern of the reaction signal Rs and store it in advance in the storage unit 44m. In this case, the cause of the error can be automatically estimated by analyzing the pattern of the reaction signal Rs. Also, if there is no abnormality in the pattern of the reaction signal Rs, it can be estimated that there is a problem with the settings.

After estimating the state of the controller 30, the inspection unit 40 displays the estimation result on the display unit 44d (liquid crystal display) (step S99). The inspector can proceed to the next inspection or replace the controller 30 according to the display result of the display section 44d.

By completing step S99, this inspection method S90 ends. The inspection method S90 described above is merely an example, and other steps may be added, some steps may be changed or deleted, and the order of the steps may be changed.

Next, features of the inspection system 1 for an automatic door apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. An inspection system 1 for an automatic door apparatus includes an automatic door apparatus 100 having a plurality of components communicating with each other, and stopping functions of components other than a component to be inspected among the plurality of components of the automatic door apparatus 100.

The component of interest is exemplified by the first component, eg the external activation sensor 20 , and the other component is exemplified by the second component, eg the controller 30 .

According to this configuration, since the functions of the other components are stopped, unnecessary signals are output from the other components, and the door 12 does not uselessly open and close, which facilitates the operation. The condition of the target component can be diagnosed based on the response signal Rs. Since inspection can be performed while the target component is attached, the number of man-hours required can be reduced compared to the case where the component is detached for inspection.

The component of interest may comprise a processing unit 20p-30p for generating a reaction signal Rs based on the test signal Et. In this case, the component to be inspected can be inspected without removing the component to be inspected.

The inspection signal Et may be a simulated signal that simulates a signal transmitted from another component to the target component when the automatic door system 100 is in operation. In this case, the target component can be inspected in a state close to the actual operating condition.

The test signal Et and reaction signal Rs may be transmitted over a transmission line 36 through which multiple components communicate with each other. In this case, since transmission is performed using the transmission line 36 for inspection, a transmission line for communication separate from the transmission line 36 is unnecessary.

An estimating unit 44e may be provided for estimating whether or not the target component is operating normally based on the reaction signal Rs. In this case, since special skills are not required to inspect the target component, the condition of the target component can be easily grasped at the installation site.

A display section for displaying the estimation result of the estimation section 44e may be provided. In this case, since the estimation result of the estimation unit 44e can be accurately grasped, the inspection can be easily performed.
